Am Not Coping

[Faith-and-Hope]

Thanks @Zoe7 ..... 💚

Heading off now ....

[Zoe7]

I am going to head out of forumland myself and snuggle with Toby for a little while before I head out to the pool @Faith-and-Hope 

Lovely to see you conversing with F&H this morning @Owlunar Hi from me too 

[Zoe7]

@Faith-and-Hope I made it to the pool. I got through nearly 2 lots of my exercises but had to get out before I could finish - didn't have enough energy - but I went and did something so that is a win.

Going to rest this afternoon as I am quite achy now. Will try to clean up the few things from dinner last night in the kitchen and make my pompom Toby a bit later.

I hope you had a good session in the pool yourself and don't have too much on this afternoon.

Taking the day slowly at the moment @Zoe7 ...... I have plenty of homework to get on with (yay !  loving himework 😊) but I have time to get it all done across a couple of days.

So pleased to hear you made it to the pool, and are going to take it easy now too .... 💕

[Zoe7]

It gives me joy to hear how much you are loving doing you uni work @Faith-and-Hope

Hi @Faith-and-Hope

I sat here for a few minutes and thought about the dark time of my life and how grateful I was that there was support at the university - no need now to go into the past and how negative so much of it was - but the university was there - and it seemed wherever I turned there was help and it was a great time of my life and I still think about it and have great memories

About the lack of support S2 has had in the past - there are people and organisations who think people just need to "toughen-up" and perhaps there are people like that - but the more I read about mental health the more I begin to think that being told to pull oneself together just adds to the load a lot of vulnerable people carry in the first place

I would like to thank whoever it was who suggested I go to university - it was among the best things I did in my life - I wish you and your kids the best there - and great that the services are still there - we learn a lot more at university than is taught there

Hey @Faith-and-Hope Just checking in with you before I log off soon. How are you going tonight - have you got much of your homework done?

[Faith-and-Hope]

Went shopping for a few bits and pieces I needed on my way to the library @Zoe7, and got some walking in there also.

I have printed some visual diary stuff, but didn’t get much further before heading home.  Nobody wanted to put the dinner together in my absence, but it’s done now.  Clean up is not mine ..... lol

I creates the expectation a few years ago that whoever cooks is exempt the cleaning up, so there is an up side to being the cook.

Baby dragon melt down a bit warluer .... one is not talking to me ..... 

[Zoe7]

oh no @Faith-and-Hope which baby dragon has had a hissy fit? Hopefully with some time and distance they will come around. 

I love that the cook doesn't have to clean up - no such luck at my place lol

What are your plans for tomorrow?

[Faith-and-Hope]

I am taking some tourists I have been introduced to to The Coffee Place tomorrow @Zoe7 .... quite ironic that mr.f&h is not here ..... 😏
